Director of the Center for Energy Studies and finance professor Eric Olson and two TU students Tulsi Patel and Cailin Stauffer attended the 2024 Design for Freedom Summit in New Canaan, Connecticut. This was the third annual Design for Freedom summit where leading experts from various sectors came together to eliminate forced labor in the building materials supply chain.
Patel expressed her gratitude, saying that “attending the Design for Freedom summit was an eye-opening and empowering experience. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to hear from experts in the field, discussing approaches to combat modern slavery in the built environment.”
The summit is supported by the Grace Farms Foundation, a center for culture and collaboration. The foundation’s CEO is Sharon Prince (BSBA ’85, MBA ’86).
